Today let Gore and Daschle get in all their whacks at the Bush administration without a guest from the GOP side or even a challenging question from Lauer.

Lauer's suggestion that the war on terror was a conscious diversion by the Bush administration to create a smokescreen for purposes of grabbing civil liberties, was one of the vilest moments in the long, inglorious history of The Today Show.

Today Show ping. One for the liberal-media-bias archives.

[SubMareener]

Thanks for watching the trash for us! I just can't stomach this stuff in the morning.

"using the war for partisan political gain

Perhaps Algore didn't get a copy of the leaked memo?

Pot...kettle...and such...

[abclily]

Lauer apparently lacks any depth of understanding regarding the War on Terrorism. A person has to be shallow-minded to be a liberal in the first place. Some humans are born with logic, and some are not. Demonstrations such as Laur's expose the lack of intelligence in liberals.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Daschle gleefuly followed that line of questioning!

(I often ask myself, how is it that the Democratic leadership can look at their reflections in the mirror, without realizing that they are frauds with no integrity who LIE every waking moment?)

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Not sure that I've sufficiently expressed just how momentous was this interview and Gore's speech.

The Democrats can no longer be considered a "loyal opposition" offering a constructive critique of the party in power. They are now flatly claiming that the Bush administration is using the war on terrorism as a pretext for stealing personal liberties away from the American people.

That is one of the ugliest, most serious allegations that could possibly be made. The Democrats are accusing the Republicans of using American blood to undermine the Constitution.

That the liberal media are aiding and abetting the Dems, as demonstrated this morning, is an interesting if less important sidenote.

We have entered a new political epoch. The Dems, fearing that the political landscape is shifting against them in some fundamental way, are pulling out all the stops in this desperate, brutal assault on the Bush administration.

[joyful1]

This is outrageous. The depths they are willing to descend is just outrageous.

Our nation is at the edge of terror from militant Islamists, we need all the unity and spirit we can muster. These democrats are helping the enemy. Are they stupid or are they working with the enemy?

[sirchtruth]

Listen people, the dems have nothing. We all know they are such an unscrupulous bunch of bitter ole prix!

These tactics used today will only embolden conservatives to come out in droves to show them we are not going to let them run ruff shod over this country anymore!

The Clinton legacy brought this upon them, let them rage!

[YaYa123]

You got it exactly right..."Lauer conducted the interview, and was more than happy to offer Daschle the most negative possible interpretation of Bush administration moves and invite Daschle to agree."

Daschle's presence was unnecessary...I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.

Here's another quote from the Gore speech, as reported by ABC News:

"They have taken us much farther down the road toward an intrusive, 'big brother'-style government toward the dangers prophesied by George Orwell in his book '1984' than anyone ever thought would be possible in the United States of America," Gore charged.

How and the world has ANYONES personal liberties been affected by the war on Iraq???? I swear these idiots keep grasping for straws and come up with a hand full of crap.

[The Scorpion King]

This amid reports from an Iraqi Human Rights organization of 263 mass grave sites all over Iraq. Some are found to contain the bodies of women and children. All shot in the head.

These oh-so-compassionate Liberal Dimocrats would have been content to continually turn a blind eye to Saddam's treatment of his own people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clinton take the U.S. in Kosovo, and meddle in the affairs of a sovereign nation for what amounted to much less?

[Hegemony Cricket]

"...one of the vilest moments in the long, inglorious history of The Today Show."

Agreed. I couldn't even watch. I hit the button so fast it made little tommy daschle's head spin.

[Maigrey]

I seem to recall that the 107th Congress brought the bill up, approved it in Both houses, and Bush signed it.

Am I missing something, or was Dashle complicit in these actions?

As usual, from the usual suspects.

And, did you take your meds before subjecting yourself to these hideous diatribes?

[Mark Felton]

Today let Gore and Daschle get in all their whacks at the Bush administration without a guest from the GOP side or even a challenging question from Lauer.

FOX and Friends did the same thing as well this morning. No challenge. Lots of back slapping. "great book".

Furthermore, Daschle Defended the intelligence memo.

[solo gringo]

All of the networks are anti AMERICAN except mabe Fox but all the rest are anti Bush.A grab on freedom these bastards are still bashing bush thier freedom is still in tack.

[unsycophant]

Lauer's suggestion that the war on terror was a conscious diversion by the Bush administration

Absurd.

[Luke21]

I love it. This crap is now on CNN, and hits me in the face when I sign on AOL. "Gore fears big brother," is the headline. Anybody still think these people aren't coordinated when they are running with the same message this quickly on a Monday?

[HeadOn]

Did you hear the clip of Gore when he said (paraphrased) that "They have tried to scare the American people so that they can control them. They only want to frighten the people so they can get their votes..."

My rememberence of the quote is VERY BAD. I wish I had it on tape. The quote was the perfect campaign ad. Just play it and ask if Gore was talking about the Democrats. Flashing "Welfare" and "Accusing Republicans of Starving the Elderly" on the screen at the appropriate moments during the quote would be PERFECT.
